The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (5)
The young wife wanted something clean and refreshing, so we continued with Tosa Sake. As the young wives tasted more and more sake, it was a good opportunity to try some sake that we normally don't try😅.
Kaygetsu booth.
Kaygetsu Super Dry Special Junmai Shu 60 Nama Nama Shu.
I had the first sip. It's refreshing, and the freshness of the sake makes it not feel so spicy. It has a mild umami flavor and a light aftertaste.
◉Keigetsu Aikawa Gyu Yamahai Junmai Shu 58 Unfiltered Nama-shu
17% alc. This one is also fresh, with a nutty mid-palate. It also tastes more pale.
I think the brewer said that Kaygetsu is the only Yamahai sake in Kochi.
Kuraketsu CEL 24 Junmai Daiginjo 50
Tasted on the brewer's recommendation. It is a freshly squeezed new sake. Fresh, sweet and refreshing.
My young wife was raving about the super dry taste and how delicious it was, so I asked her which was the best one she had tasted today. I asked her which one was the best one she had today.
Tastes are really difficult.
Goes well with sashimi ~ !!!!
It's been a long time since I drank a good amount of sake! It's so good!
The aroma and the rest of the taste has a strong graininess that is typical of Yamahai.
But there is not much acidity.
It has a fruity aroma and a juicy, pineapple-like sweetness!
Although it is a draft sake, there is no gassy feeling and almost no bitterness.
Even so, it is easy to drink without any sweetness.
I would recommend this bottle to sake beginners.
(supernatant) Banana aroma. The same banana flavor spreads in the mouth, with a slight honey flavor in the aftertaste. However, it is not too thick, and the crisp, clean taste makes it easy to drink. (nigori) The initial flavor changes to green apple, and the honey aftertaste fades, leaving an image of green apple all the way through. Why does it change so much? It was a delicious and wonderful sake.
I went on a business trip to Kochi to see if I had accumulated virtues in a previous life.
Of course, after checking in to the hotel, I went to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub).
Kochi's popular izakayas serve Kaygetsu, a sweet sake with no aroma, for 450 yen a sip, and every time I come to Kochi, I think, "This is a drinker-friendly country!
The Kaygetsu Ginbai I drank tonight was 180 degrees different from the sake made with cel yeast. However, the core flavor of the sake is the same as that of Tosa sake.
Kaygetsu Super Dry Special Junmai Sake 60 Nama Sake
Rating 4.4
Alcohol level: 15%, Sake meter rating: +11, Acidity: 1.7, Ingredient rice: Japanese rice, Polishing ratio: 60
Kaygetsu's popular "Super Dry".
A special junmai sake with a refreshingly dry taste (Sake meter value: +11). The freshness of the unpasteurized sake. Excellent with fish dishes such as bonito tataki, sashimi, and simmered fish.
Convergence is dry.
In my own prejudice, I was surprised to find such a fruity sake in Kochi.
It is a modern sake with a fruity sweetness matched by a refreshing acidity.
Okaki (no picture) as a side dish.
Hi Inoshin-san!
I had exactly the same impression when I received Kaygetsu's cel24😲.
I was really surprised that this yeast was created in Kochi Prefecture, which has a dry image 😋 It is delicious 😋.
Hello Inoshin, nice to meet you😄.
I think Kaygetsu cel24 is more refreshing than other breweries✨.
Kameizumi cel24 has a strong pineapple juice feel to it ☝️
You should try the other cel24 as well 😁.
